Pick A Card - Any Card 
 
  The Pick A Card series of patent pending casino games were inspired by the scene in Vegas Vacation in which Clark and Cousin Eddie go to that odd casino where the games are 'a little different'.
 
  In addition to "Casino War" and "Rock, Paper, Scissor", there was a game called Pick A Number, seen here, which used no device to determine the winner. Despite being absurd to the max and ripe for dealer cheating, it was our inspiration for a fair version, with a house edge that is reasonable, but hard to calculate on the fly. It's fun and easy to play, and can seem to provide a player advantage.
 
 
Game Description 
 
  The game is played with a standard 52 card deck, or 52 cards plus a fully wild Joker. Players make a wager that a selected card rank or suit appears among the three cards to be revealed. Payouts are increased if the chosen rank or suit appears more than once. Players may wager on as many ranks or suits as desired.
 
  The basic game opions can include betting on the rank or suit, or both. When the joker is included, and particularly when betting on ranks is offered, a seperate bet on the rank of joker can be available.
 
  A Bonus side bet allows players to wager that the three cards will be a pair, flush, straight, three of a kind or straight flush. This is similar to the Pair Plus side bet for Three Card Poker, without a jackput for a mini-royal.
 
  A Jackpot side bet is also available and can be progressive if desired. Triggered when a straight flush or three of a kind appears, a fourth card is shown. The full jackpot pays when that card results in a four card straight flush, or four of a kind. A partial jackpot payout occurs when the fourth card added to a straight flush is still a straight or flush, or when added to a three of a kind is the fourth suit (rainbow). If the fourth card doesn't improve the hand, the payout is only slightly less than the same hand on the Bonus side bet, while a simple straight or flush pays the same as the Bonus side bet.
 
  Therefore, when played with a joker, and offering every betting option, the player will have 20 betting poitions: 13 ranks, 1 joker rank, 4 suits, 2 side bets. Because of the many betting spots, these games would be better suited to a Big 6 size table with community betting positions for live play, or for electronic/online play. Despite this, and to make it easier to visualize, sample layouts designed with individual betting positions on a BJ size table are included below - along with Big 6 style sample table layouts.
 
  All players play the same three cards. The deck gets shuffled after each round.
